Brotherhood Is Something YOU
Can Do for Your Country—Bristol
By LEE H. BRISTOL
National Chairman,
Brotherhood Week
President Kennedy, in taking
over the helm of state, knew, as
all Presidents before him, that
no man could lead this mighty
country without the divine guid-
ance of God and the consent of
his fellow citizens.
More than consent, the Pres-
ident asked for help when he
said: ". . • (but) ask what you
can do for your country."
As Chairman for National
Brotherhood Week 1962, I am
proud to answer Mr. Kennedy's
request. I commend to your
wholehearted support the work
of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews in its aim
to overcome fear, prejudice and
bigotry among men.
Brotherhood is Democracy at
work. Brotherhood is the very
essence of our democratic heri-
tage and is rooted in all moral
and ethical laws.
We Americans, no matter what
our race, creed or national ori-
gins, can unleash a force more
powerful than any military
might: the treasurer example of
Freedom and Liberty in action.
Before it, no dictatorship can
continue to shackle the minds
of men.
Brotherhood is s o m e t

is a period of rededication to
the principles enunciated in the
Preamble to the Declaration of
Independence, which dates back
to the Judeo-Christian concept
of the brotherhood of man
under the Fatherhood of God.
As Alfred A. May, president
of the Detroit Round Table,
explained it: ,"It has not been
set aside as the one week of
the year most suited to the
practice of brotherhood, for the
NCCJ hold that all weeks are
equally in need of that practice.
It is a time of resolution and
renewal, when the American
people draw inspiration to sus-
tain brotherhood throughout the
year."

NO BETTER WORDS TO
DESCRIBE BROTHERHOOD
In support of the deep-rooted American principles
of good will among all faiths, of amity among
races, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln's
admonitions—"With malice toward none; with
charity for all . . ." it is a privilege as well as an
obligation to join in the call to action for true
Brotherhood—that we should
Believe It . . . Live It . . . Support It
This is, indeed, part of our American Bill of

as we usher in the Brotherhood Week celebration
for 1962.
